[SOLVED] Chaser: Escape from hell math64.dll problem

Headpred · 08-16-2009, 02:39 AM

Hey guys new guy here. I have an emachines W3653 Desktop. It has a Duo core processor @1.6 and 1G of ram. I have been trying to install the old video game Chaser: Escape from hell Vs. 1.47 on my pc and I get the following error: math64.dll invalid access to memory? This game was made to be able to play on low end computers so what is the problem with this and why can't I install it. I have disabled d.e.p. and even even changed the install program to run in Windows XP sp2 compatiblilty mode. Can anyone help me?

Hello and welcome to TSF

Try running the game as administrator.

I have tried that and it doesn't help. I think it may be some kind of compatibility problem. I appreciate you reading this however and giving me your input.

Well it's my job to read and help.

Anyway you're most likely correct, it would be a compatibility problem.

Wow! I don't think there is a resolution to this problem. I have done a ton of research and looking around and can't find anyone who has been successful with installing it on Vista.

So, did you solve it? If so, please mark this thread as solved under Thread Tools

Could not solve this issue!

Have you tried any other compatibility modes?

You might want to let customers know that the PC shooter Chaser has a Major issue.

The game will not load and the user gets the error message "Math64.dll". In trying to get to the bottom of this on the net, I've found the following information: Supposedly, the problem is that the installer is incompatible with both Service Pack 2 for windows XP (Home AND Pro) as well as some AMD systems.

Further, that the developers are aware of the issue but do not plan to fix it. There does not seem to be any workarounds past this error other than uninstalling SP2, installing the game and then re-installing SP2. I do not know what the AMD issues are.

I have not yet tried this workaround, so I cannot comment further on that. However, it would seem prudent that anyone planning to buy Chaser should take all this into consideration before purchasing it.
